Crazy [is] a destructive word, used to hurt people with mental disabilities. It’s used to discredit, to marginalize, to make sure that we feel shame for our disability and discourage self-care, to make sure that those of us brave enough to publicly identify as having mental disabilities are continually discredited.

This is what I have discovered by trying to rid my vocabulary of those words: one of the main things I use them for is to hurt myself. Whenever I think I've done something wrong or remember something I think I did wrong, I turn them inwards.
